The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are orange grey to brownish with brownish scales sparsely scattered, more dense in the posterior portion. There are two blackish large discal stigmata, one before the middle and the other at the end of the cell. There is brownish suffusion extending from the second stigma to the inner margin. The hindwings are pale orange grey.
Etymology
The species name refers to the distinct marked discal stigmata on the forewing and is derived from Latin designat (meaning marked).[2]
